今年比特币刚度过 15 岁「生日」,其生命周期的第四次减半也在即,2100 万枚代币总供应量的 92% 已被挖出,在这个历史性时刻,铭文、比特币 NFT 之类的「应用」在过去半年引爆市场,以 Stacks 为代表的比特币智能合约生态热度也被重燃,对于当前的比特币来说,DeFi 是其相对欠缺但是想象空间最大的一环。

 

人们还在寻求能完全继承比特币安全性又同时具备打造比特币生态去中心化金融(BTCFi)的最优解,本文将介绍公链 Core 给出的 BTCFi 解决方案。


Core 链是什么

 

Core 链是由比特币驱动的 EVM 兼容 Layer 1 区块链,「比特币驱动」是 Core 链能继承比特币网络安全性的关键,而这一点体现在 Core 链的共识机制上。

 

Core 链的共识机制结合了比特币 PoW,具体而言,Core 的 21 个验证节点通过一套混合评分体系选出,其评分标准包括质押在验证节点上的比特币算力大小和 Core 链原生代币 CORE 的质押数量,未来还计划将比特币质押作为节点评分的标准之一。


能否成为 BTCFi 最优解?


作为 BTCFi 领域的新秀,Core 链是否能够成为最优解尚待市场验证,但其采用的比特币 PoW 共识机制以及将推出的比特币质押无疑为其安全性和去中心化特性提供了强有力的支撑。


Core 链的共识机制基于比特币 PoW

 

Core 链和目前其他比特币生态项目最大的不同在于 Core 链的共识机制直接使用了比特币的 PoW,比特币的 PoW 共识是当前经过时间验证的最安全和去中心化的去中心化记账机制。那么 Core 链让比特币的 PoW 机制成为共识的一部分,也是为 Core 链增加了一个安全的「保护壳」,让 PoW 在保障比特币安全和去中心化的同时也在保障 Core 链的安全。

 

而对于比特币矿工来说,Core 链的共识机制也提供了一种在不增加额外能源和时间成本的情况下获得收益的选择,为矿工在比特币奖励将持续减少的情况下也提供了多元化收入的可能。

 

根据 Core 链官网显示,目前委托在 Core 链的验证节点的算力为 218.32 EH/S,占比特币总算力 611.3 EH/s 的 35%,这一数字更是在 2023 年 8 月曾达到过 40%。火币、OKX、Bitget 等大型交易所已作为验证节点加入了 Core 链,共同保障其安全运行。

 


2024 年 Q2 将启动比特币质押

 

在结合了比特币 PoW 的基础上,Core 链将于今年 Q2 在共识机制中引入比特币质押,也就是说未来 Core 链的验证节点评分将包含三个权重因素,分别是比特币算力、质押的 CORE 代币、质押的比特币。

 

比特币是目前市值最高,共识最强的加密资产,Core 链引入比特币质押这一功能,结合底层使用了比特币 PoW 来维护公链的去中心化和安全性,Core 链极具潜力全面开启 BTCFi 的繁荣。


对于比特币持有者 / 投资者来说,Core 链的比特币质押新功能也将是一个全新且有竞争力的投资选项,因为 Core 链的比特币质押过程是非托管的,相较一些中心化的托管机构来说更加安全。比特币质押者的加入将全面开启一个 BTC 2.0 时代,让比特币质押者、比特币算力质押者、CORE 质押者持续获得收益,形成一个相互正向激励的经济循环。

 

 

至此,对 Core 共识机制的介绍才完整结束,Core 是一个既 EVM 兼容又能完全继承比特币安全性的公链,具备发展比特币 DeFi 的条件,也能为现有 DeFi 项目向 Core 迁移共同并构建比特币 DeFi 生态提供基础设施。


引入 stCORE ,布局 BTC DeFi

 

流动性质押是当下 DeFi 领域中 TVL 占比最高的板块,较复杂的 DeFi 活动来说更简单也能提高代币的效用。因此,Core 在比特币 DeFi 上的初步探索集中于流动性质押策略,Core 在近期宣布推出流动性质押代币 stCORE,解决之前质押 CORE 后代币无法交易的问题。用户在质押 CORE 后会收到等额的流动性质押代币 stCORE,stCORE 在 CORE 已被质押同时还能被交易、出售或用于其他 DeFi 协议,增强用户的流动性。

 

此外,Core 链 2024 年比特币质押路线图中显示,还将推出在 Core 上铸造和锁定的 Wrapped BTC、Core 链原生比特币的质押以及 Wrapped BTC 激励机制等,增强比特币在 Core 链上的效用。


 

Core 团队及背景

 

在深入掌握了 Core 链的共识机制及其致力于构建比特币 DeFi 生态的愿景后,了解其背后的团队和组织也能让我们进一步了解 Core。L1 公链 Core 是由去中心化组织 Core DAO 负责运营的,该组织目前在全球拥有超过 45 名成员。其中,核心贡献者 Rich Rines 有着在 Coinbase 任职三年的经验,是负责资金流动相关的首席工程师。团队的其他成员也都来自于业内知名大型机构并任职高位,包括 Blockchain.com、MoonPay、BNB Chain 等。



Core DAO 贡献者团队背景强大,他们的运营成效也通过社交媒体的数据得到了体现,X(原 Twitter)平台上,Core DAO 的关注者数量已经突破了 210 万,Discord 的社区成员数量超过 25 万,表明其拥有一个庞大的社区基础。

 

Core 代币 CORE

 

代币 CORE 是 Core 链的效用和治理代币,可用于支付交易的 Gas 费,在 Core 网络上质押以及参与网络治理,于 2023 年 2 月上线,总供应量 21 亿枚。其代币经济模型中总供应量的:

 

  • 39.995%(约 8.4 亿枚)用于节点挖矿奖励;
  • 25.029% (约 5.25 亿枚)用于用户奖励;
  • 15%(约 3.15 亿枚)分发给项目贡献者;
  • 10%(约 2.1 亿枚)用作储备金;
  • 9.5%(约 2 亿枚)分配给金库,支持 Core 链的生态系统发展;
  • 0.476%(约 1000 万枚)用于中继节点奖励。

 

 

以上分配模型中可看出 CORE 代币最多分配给了节点挖矿,39.995% 的节点奖励将在约 81 年的时间内分配,区块奖励逐年递减 3.6%。

 

小结

 

Core 链的种种特性都是围绕着打造 BTCFi 生态建立的,包括其结合了 PoW 的创新共识机制、庞大的用户基础以及与 EVM 兼容等,2024 年 Core 将通过这些特性来补充和完善比特币 DeFi 生态。同时,比特币的强大网络和高度安全性也将反过来支持 Core 链稳定和安全地运行,可谓相互强化,共同进化。

Behind the AI Scorecards Lies a Chinese 'Question Setter'

Behind the AI scorecards that dominate industry discussions—benchmarks like MMLU-Pro, MMMU, and MMMU-Pro—stands a Chinese-Canadian researcher: Wenhu Chen. As an assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of the TIGER Lab, Chen has become a key "exam-setter" for evaluating large language and multimodal models. Chen first gained broader recognition with MMLU-Pro, a more challenging and stable update to the popular MMLU benchmark. As top models like OpenAI’s o3 began achieving near-perfect scores on the original MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. MMLU-Pro introduced more complex reasoning questions, expanded answer choices, and filtered out ambiguous or simple items, effectively reintroducing differentiation among state-of-the-art models. His work on MMMU addressed the evaluation of multimodal models, requiring them to integrate visual information (like charts, diagrams, or tables) with textual knowledge across diverse academic subjects. Even the strongest models initially scored only around 56-59%, highlighting significant room for improvement in genuine multimodal reasoning. MMMU-Pro further refined this by preventing models from bypassing visual cues. Chen’s research focus has long been on complex information understanding and reasoning. His background—including a PhD at UC Santa Barbara, research at Google/DeepMind on Gemini, and now a role in Meta’s superintelligence lab—provides deep insight into model development and their potential weaknesses. His TIGER Lab also builds models (e.g., for video understanding and generation), ensuring his evaluation benchmarks are grounded in practical challenges. While AI headlines often spotlight company leaders and product launches, Chen’s work exemplifies the critical, behind-the-scenes contributions of researchers crafting the rigorous standards that define and drive progress in AI capabilities.

STRC Unpegged by 11%, Can Strategy's Perpetual Motion Machine Keep Turning?

STRC, the perpetual preferred stock of MicroStrategy, is experiencing a persistent de-pegging from its target par value of $100, with the discount recently widening to over 11%. This de-anchoring challenges the core design of STRC, which was intended as a stable, income-oriented security operating near $100. As a crucial funding engine for MicroStrategy's Bitcoin acquisition strategy, STRC's price reflects market confidence in the company's entire capital model. The company's "capital flywheel" relies on issuing STRC at or above $100 via an At-the-Market (ATM) program to raise cash for buying Bitcoin, thereby boosting company equity and theoretically supporting STRC's value. A monthly adjustable dividend mechanism was designed to maintain this peg. Despite raising the dividend to 11.5% and increasing payment frequency, the de-pegging persists. Market concerns extend beyond technical factors like leveraged arbitrage unwinding. Analysts point to MicroStrategy's limited cash reserves relative to its ~$1.7 billion annual dividend obligation for preferred shares. While the company counters that its vast Bitcoin holdings could cover decades of payments, this argument hinges on the potential need to sell Bitcoin—a shift from its longstanding "hodl" narrative. The company's recent sale of a small amount of BTC, framed as a test, amplified these liquidity and strategy concerns. If STRC remains discounted, impairing MicroStrategy's ability to raise cheap capital, fears may grow that the company could sell more Bitcoin to meet obligations. This scenario could transform MicroStrategy from a major market buyer into a potential seller, posing significant downside risk for Bitcoin. The re-pegging of STRC is thus a key indicator for the health of MicroStrategy's capital structure and its market impact.

Silicon Valley's Most Sought-After New Role Has Emerged

Silicon Valley's New Most Wanted Job: The Rise of the Forward Deployment Engineer The AI industry is witnessing a significant shift. The focus has moved from developing cutting-edge models to deploying them effectively within enterprises. This has made the "Forward Deployment Engineer" (FDE) a critical and highly sought-after role at major firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. For the past three years, the industry prioritized model scientists. However, companies are now facing a harsh reality: purchasing powerful AI tools does not guarantee productivity gains or organizational change. The biggest hurdle is not the technology itself, but integrating it into complex legacy systems, workflows, and corporate cultures. This includes challenges like data silos, compliance requirements, and internal resistance. The FDE role, pioneered by Palantir Technologies, addresses this "last-mile" problem. FDEs are deployed on-site with clients for extended periods. Their job is to deeply understand the client's specific organizational structure, processes, and pain points, then tailor and implement the AI solution accordingly. They combine skills in technology, project management, and organizational change. A clear signal of this trend emerged in May 2026 when three AI giants made major moves. Anthropic launched a $1.5B joint venture for enterprise deployment. OpenAI formed an independent deployment subsidiary, DeployCo, with over $4B in commitments and acquired a deployment consultancy. Google Cloud's CEO publicly announced a large-scale recruitment drive for FDEs. This shift represents a fundamental change in the software business model: from selling tools to selling guaranteed outcomes. FDEs are the agents of this change, responsible for delivering a working system within the production environment, not just a demo. Real-world cases, such as challenges at Goldman Sachs (compliance barriers) and Target (internal cultural resistance), illustrate that the primary obstacles to AI adoption are organizational, not technical. An FDE's value lies in navigating these human and procedural complexities to facilitate a successful "AI migration." In essence, as core AI technology becomes more accessible and affordable, the true premium is shifting to the human expertise required to understand organizations and drive change—making the FDE role pivotal for the next phase of the AI revolution.

When the World Cup Collides with Agents: From Web2 to Web3, How Are Wallets Evolving into Agentic Wallets?

World Cup as a Catalyst for Agentic Wallets: From Web2 to Web3 This article explores how the World Cup provides a real-world scenario for observing the evolution of digital wallets from simple asset managers towards "Agentic Wallets"—intelligent, AI-powered interfaces. Using the example of prediction markets like Polymarket, it illustrates how AI Agents can lower the barrier to Web3 interaction. Instead of navigating complex DApps, users can express intent in natural language (e.g., "I think Portugal will win") within platforms like Discord or web pages. The Agent then interprets this intent, finds the relevant market, and seamlessly guides the user through the on-chain transaction via their wallet. The core shift is from wallets as mere "function menus" for signing transactions to "intent interpreters" that understand user goals. The article highlights parallel developments in traditional finance, such as Mastercard's "Agent Pay" and WeChat Pay's AI tests, which focus on granting AI controlled, authorized, and auditable payment capabilities. This underscores a broader trend of AI entering the financial layer. However, the article emphasizes that the primary challenge for Agentic Wallets in Web3 is not automation but establishing clear security boundaries. Unlike traditional systems with chargebacks, on-chain transactions are often irreversible. Therefore, future wallets must ensure users retain ultimate control and comprehension. They need to transparently communicate an Agent's permissions, spending limits, authorized durations, and provide easy ways to pause or revoke access. The World Cup experiments represent early steps toward wallets that are not just applications but ubiquitous, intelligent interfaces that simplify Web3 while keeping users securely in control.

Options Don't Work in DeFi? Vitalik Might Not Agree

For years, the prevailing view has been that options struggle to gain traction in DeFi due to complexity, fragmented liquidity, and lack of natural demand compared to products like perpetual futures. However, a recent algorithmic stablecoin design proposed by Vitalik Buterin presents a different perspective, using options not as a standalone trading product, but as foundational infrastructure for other financial instruments. In this design, one unit of ETH is split into two components: a "stable" side (P) that retains value up to a specified strike price, and an "upside" side (N) that captures all appreciation above that strike. Combined, they always equal one ETH, eliminating debt, margin, and liquidation risks inherent in typical collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoins. The stable component essentially mimics the payoff of a covered call option. To function as a stablecoin, this structure requires continuously rolling deep in-the-money calls, which introduces challenges like rollover slippage, predictable transaction flow vulnerable to front-running, and persistent liquidity needs. A core hurdle is finding consistent buyers for the leveraged ETH upside exposure (N). While it offers leverage without funding rates or liquidation, it must compete with simpler alternatives like direct call options or perpetuals. The system's scalability depends on a sustained demand for this specific form of leverage. The author draws parallels to their experience with Rysk, where earlier versions of DeFi options protocols struggled. The breakthrough came with Rysk V12, which aligns incentives: asset holders generate yield by selling covered calls against their holdings, while market makers efficiently acquire the desired option exposure. This demonstrates that options can find product-market fit when embedded as a risk distribution and pricing engine within structured products, stablecoins, or yield-generating assets, rather than marketed as a complex direct trading instrument. Vitalik's proposal reinforces this architectural approach—using fully collateralized, non-custodial, and physically settled options as a fundamental building block. The real opportunity for options in DeFi may lie not in becoming the next perpetual swap, but in powering the next generation of on-chain financial products.
